Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra and $\varphi: A \to B(H)$ be a completely positive contractive map. Stinespring's theorem says that there exists a $*$-representation $\pi: A \to B(H')$ and a bounded ...

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an injective $C^*$-algebra irreducibly acting on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, and let $\phi$ be a completely positive idempotent from $\mathbb{B}(\mathcal{H})$ onto $\mathcal{A}$...

Definition:A linear map $f:\mathbb C^n\to \mathbb C^n$ is called positive if $\langle fa,a\rangle\ge0$ for all $a\in \mathbb C^n$. Equivalently, $f\in M_{n}(\mathbb C)$ is positive if it can be ...

I would like to ask the following two questions. Let $1_{\mathcal{H}}\in \mathcal{A}\subset\mathcal{B}\subset\overline{\mathcal{A}}^{SOT}\subset\mathbb{B}(\mathcal{H})$ be a sequence of $C^{\ast}$-...

The only example I know of a positive map which is not completely positive is the transpose map on $M_n(\mathbb{C})$. Of course, one can come up with minor perturbations of this (compose it with, or ...
